There will be a referendum on the boat gambling this fall. o Medicaid - In Indiana, is has grown 20% per year for the past five years to the extent of a $700 million shortfall. o As there was not state budget, a special session of the state legislature was called. The Governor Evan Bayh wanted to raise taxes to the tune of $250 million. Republicans fought tooth and nail and were successful in combating the Governor's proposal. Gov. is expected to present another tax bill in January of '94. (NOTE: When the last GOP Governor left office, there was a surplus fund of $800 million. It is completely gone - Democrats have been spending $1 million a day more than is taken in during the last five years!)
